The course structure is vibrant but somewhat out dated. Practicals do teach us how to be in real world but real field visits and understanding is missing. Coding and technical skills are not nurtured by the college rather this is done by peers. Exams are held twice in one semester: midsem and endsem. the exams span over a time of 1 week. The exams are moderate in level and also depends upon professors.
Internships Opportunities

Like every other college, the professors will look out for you only if you show some interest that you do really care about gaining the knowledge of their subject,otherwise its just them giving lectures and you jotting notes.
